Every state is different, and you have to be dedicated to root out all the particulars. In Wyoming, when you want to apply for a "female" tag for elk, deer, or antelope, look for Type 6 or 7. They are generally reduced price, and at least in the case of antelope you can apply for multiple tags. After the initial draw, you can also check the leftover list, but most of those tags tend to go very quickly, or there is an access issue in that unit. Get on the states Game & Fish website, and spend some time this winter getting familiar on navigating it.
